What is the holographic hair trend all about?

Holographic hair is a trend in hair coloring where multi-dimensional metallic, neon, or pastel dyes are applied to hair in a way that mimics light, rainbows, or prisms. It doesn’t have much to do with real holograms, beyond the fact that it mimics the unique way that light can be reflected. This technique was first developed by master hair colorist Kelly O’Leary, and has since become a staple of other artists like Josh Rainville.

Instead of the hair appearing to be colored, it should look like a surface on which unusual colors are reflected. The result is always stunning, and it’s a fantastic twist on other colorful trends like pastel or unicorn hair. What’s interesting about this is that it is often based on a horizontal application of color rather than the typical stripes.
